Go, the Mesa subsidiary operates four 50-seat Bombardier CRJ200s in Hawaii. "How do you put someone out of business with less capacity? We can't put them out of business with only 8% of the market," Mesa CEO Jonathan Ornstein said. "We are trying to carve a niche. They added more capacity than we have." Ornstein said he intends to add five or six larger aircraft, either Embraer 195s or Bombardier CRJ900s, to the market next year. He said the Go! subsidiary is modeled after highly successful LCC Ryanair. "There is a business model that says you can give away tickets and still make money," he said. Sep 26, 2006
